Bengals WR Johnson To Have Surgery

POSTED: 7:36 pm EDT June 17, 2008

(Sports Network) - Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson will have arthroscopic surgery on his ankle, according to a published report.

Johnson was limited during a mandatory minicamp last week, and his agent Drew Rosenhaus said at the time the receiver had an ankle problem that could require surgery.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that although Johnson will have the procedure, he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, which opens July 27.

It's been a roller coaster offseason for Johnson, who pushed to be traded from the Bengals. However, he reported in time for minicamp, although he didn't participate fully in the opening two practices last Thursday.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Johnson had 93 receptions for a career-high 1,440 yards and eight touchdowns last season when the Bengals finished with a 7-9 record.

Injuries, however, may be the only reason why Joe Flacco is getting the starting nod for Sunday's season opener versus the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium.
